HT4878 Where are these "local snapshots" housed and can they be deleted.

My wife is showing 239GB of local backups so it seems that the "compression" of these may not be happening. It would be nice to have the ability to "configure" the local backup frequency.
Having the "advanced" ability to configure Time Machine to take backups when we want would be a great addition as my wife plugs her external in every night. The periodic backup once a day in the middle of the day would be nice as well but seeing as Time Machine is now defaulting to backing up every 10-15 minutes I can see why she suddenly has ~240GB of backups.

  • What are these DR$TEMP % tables and can they be deleted?

    We are generating PL/SQL using ODMr and then periodically running the model in batch mode. Out of 26,542 objects in the DMUSER1 schema, 25,574 are DR$TEMP% tables. Should the process be cleaning itself up or is this supposed to be a manual process? Is the cleanup documented somewhere?
    Thanks

    Hi Doug,
    The only DR$ tables/indexes built are the ones generated by the Build,Apply and Test Activities. I confirmed that they are deleted in ODMr 10.2.0.3. As I noted earlier, there was a bug in ODMr 10.2.0.2 which would lead to leakage when deleting Activities. You will have DR$ table around for existing Activities, so do not delete these without validating they are no longer part of an existing Activity.
    You can track down the DR$ objects associated to an Activity by viewing the text step in the activity and finding the table generated for the text data. This table will have a text index created on it. The name of that text index is used as a base name for several tables which Oracle text utilizes.
    Again, all of these are deleted when you delete an Activity with ODMr 10.2.0.3.
    Thanks, Mark

  • HT1414 upon updating to ios 7.0.2 all my gopro black hd videos will not play they show as gray in colour. Are these files still there and can they be restored they ran perfectly until the update

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • I changed my apple id password are my imessages still there and can they be viewed without the new password?

    i changed my apple id password are my imessages still there and can they be viewed without the new password?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • I just got a new Imac, and downloaded files from my old PC. Now, when I go to Finder, I have 1500 files in an area called developer. What is this, and can they be deleted? There are also 78 files listed as Other!  Most of these files I do not recognize.

    I just got a new IMac, and tried to download files from my old PC. When I go to,Finder, I have 1500 files under Developer, an 78 files under Other.
    Most of these files I do not recognize. Can they be trashed? Why did they transfer? I used a flash drive for the transfer. Also, is there a way to transfer my older email files to this new computer?
    Thanks for any and all help, I really need it.
    Tom

    Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
    Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT4528 I have an IPhone 4S--How do I see if apps are running in the background and should they be deleted?

    I have an IPhone 4S.  How do I see if there are any apps open in the background and if so, should they be deleted to save energy?
    Thanks

    Very few apps run in the background - mainly music playing apps and GPS apps.  Double-clicking the Home button gives you a list of previously used apps, not (as so many people believe) "running" apps.  You can delete the apps from the list if you wish, but it will make no difference to energy usage (unless they actually are running, as in the categories above. You should know if you are using GPS or if you can hear music).

  • 0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

    0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

    Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

  • Are "Previous Systems" files important or can they be deleted?

    There is a file in my the hard Drive of the MacBook entitled "Previous Systems.localized" which is taking up 9.72GB of space. Is this important or can I delete it to create space on the start up disk?

    Hi -
    Did you recently do an 'Archive and Install'? If so, that file may be leftover from your previous system. If things are working smoothly after a week or so I'd go ahead and delete the entire prev. system.

  • Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
    Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
    Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
    If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported. 
    These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
    They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
    The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

  • Where are the local radio playlists/charts in the new iTunes 7.0.1.8?

    Q: Where are the local radio playlists/charts in the new iTunes 7.0.1.8? I like to see what the local radio stations and surrounding markets are playing. I used this feature all the time in iTunes 6.
    A. I just found the answer, but I'll post this anyway. The "Radio" link was moved from the iTunes store home page. From the iTunes Store homepage you have to click on "Music" in the "iTunes Store" box. Then, go to the "More In Music" box and click on "Radio."

    I have the oracle 8.1.7 on SuSE Linux. Okay, I didnt recall
    which loadjava capture I have done those, but the point of my

    that a lot of the classes are already resolved, I assume it is

    Which version of database are you using? Also, please see my

  • N86 Where are radio stations saved? And playlists?

    Hello to all. In FP1 devices, we had available the files of the radio stations list and of the playlists we create in music application. So, if we wanted to take backup of them, we could do so.
    Where are these files in FP2 devices, and especially N86?

    In FP1 devices radio stations are stored in c:drive. Its in .rb format. Also playlist isn't in music application. I dont know its exact location but i think you could just take a backup of memory to save those playlist of yours. Don't know what N86 offers?
    Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
